Sickness certification data for all immigrants 16-45 years of age on long-term sick-leave enlisted at a local health insurance office were studied. The diagnostic pattern was remarkably homogenous, characterised by imprecise pain and/or imprecise mental disorders. Clinical data were provided by a multiaxial evaluation of 52 people (mean age 38 years, mean length of sick-leave 1 year, full-time). Ratings of pain behaviour and functional ability regarding occupational duties were also included. Reports on findings. Argues that the study this illustrates the ease with which a vicious circle of pain behaviour and further sickness certification could be created. Concludes that social distress and iatrogenic factors may have played an important part in the sock-leave pattern seen in this group of young immigrants.
